A really appropriate text for students on an early years programme who have to undertake observations as part of their practice module. I like the way that if combines theory and philosophical ideas alongside more practical based ideas of observation techniques. The layout is ′student friendly′ with a mixture of case studies , ′boxes′ and activities. -- Mrs Deborah Harris * drupal *
